About this award

You get a $500.00 grant. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are entering the Carpentry Apprenticeship program and can show that you have financial need. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. NAIT's official page says how this award is decided (see Who qualifies). Ask NAIT how many students usually qualify, so you can judge your odds. Ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with NAIT whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a student entering the Carpentry Apprenticeship program. This award is granted on the basis of demonstrated financial need.
